In fact, the disk is still in the system, but is not added into btrfs device list
(we can add it by "btrfs device scan" command), and after you mount the fs with
degraded option, the fs adds that disk as a missing device, so it doesn't has its
name.
Though avoiding access a null pointer is right, you didn't consider the missing
device and forgot to set the missing device counter. I think the following code
is better.
if (orig_dev->missing) {
device->missing = 1;
fs_devices->missing_devices++;
} else {
ASSERT(orig_dev->name);
......
}
Thanks
